Phoenix police: Home-intruder suspect who was shot released from hospital

A man accused of breaking into a house last month before being shot by a startled homeowner was released from the hospital this week after recovering from a gunshot wound he sustained, Phoenix Police said.

Michael Lewis, 20, was shot by a woman inside the home near 67th Avenue and Indian School Road after police said he punched her repeatedly in the face, said Phoenix Police spokesman Sgt. Tommy Thompson.
